53cm Bottecchia - Vintage, Columbus SL Steel Frame-set

Description: 53cm (center-to-center) Bottecchia frame-set (55cm top tube). 80's lugged Columbus steel construction. Professionally refinished with as-original reproduction decals. Recessed brake caliper attachments, Bottecchia-engraved, all chrome fork. See photos and/or ask questions. NOTES: Should fit up to 28mm tires. (Tires size limitation most often affected by brake caliper used.) Shipping via BikeFlights/UPS INCLUDES: New aluminum headset, seat binder bolt, bottle cage screws and drop-out adjusters. All threads fine, ready to assemble. Undamaged prior to refinish, unused since. 126mm (6/7-speed) rear hub spacing. Requires an Italian threaded bottom bracket which are readily available from several makers. ALSO: For customers desiring cold-setting the rear stays to 130mm hub spacing (for 8, 9, 10, 11-speed cassettes) this may be done prior to shipment by a local, master frame builder for an additional $60. Requesting this will delay shipment a few days. Shipping via Bikeflights/UPS Ground actual cost (zero mark-up) Please ask questions I can answer, see positive feedback from my customers and the current frame-set inventory at "see other items" on the right side of the page. ABOUT: As a cyclist for over 50 years and bike restorer for 20+, I derive satisfaction from returning "cosmetically challenged" (as in beyond patina) artisan-made Italian, steel frame sets to as-new appearance for cyclists to build and enjoy riding again. Frame refinish is far more expertly applied and durable than original. Some frames have been re-plated. Chrome plating is good to excellent. Current inventory includes Italian frames in a range of sizes. More coming! NOTE: International shipping charge TBD based on location
